Abstract

What have men got to do with gender equality? How do men fit into debates anddiscussions on gender equality? These are questions that are now being asked moreclearly and more openly. The relationship of men to gender equality is not necessarilystraightforward or uncontested. Many different positions can be taken on thesequestions, for example, from anti-feminist to profeminist. Drawing on previous EUfundedpolicy research across a range of European countries, this session focuses onthese issues, with special attention to two arena: men’s violences, and men’s health.
